Mr. Jensen commented, "Our business model involves reinventing a legacy industry for a modern-day economy whereby we can supply raw materials to the infrastructure and electrification marketplace effectively and efficiently. We are honored to ring the Nasdaq Bell and will be celebrating virtually with all of our stakeholders our many accomplishments throughout 2020. With the commencement of operations at Perry County, we now have the ability to generate stable cash flows for our investors, a reliable supply of high-quality carbon for our customers, and over 170 steady and reliable jobs for the community. This truly marks an important day for American Resources as it represents the launchpad that will propel the Company to its next phase of growth and the start of what we believe will be a transformational year ahead."
